reclaimed "talus" slope will be broadcast seeded by hand with the approved reclamation seed mix <br />(see Table E-1) in late fall. <br />E.12 Post Reclamation Monitoring and Maintenance <br />Monitoring of the mine site will occur on a periodic basis. Denison personnel will visit the mine <br />site to ensure that reclamation activities are effective and that permanent facilities, such as <br />permanent ditches, are in good condition. <br />Revegetation monitoring will be conducted on an annual basis to determine the effectiveness of <br />the revegetation effort. It is anticipated that a minimum of 3 years of monitoring will be required. <br />However, the success and progress of revegetation efforts are based on seasonal growth patterns, <br />precipitation, weather patterns, and disturbance. Reclamation ofthe Topaz Mine site will be <br />complete when the vegetation has been re-established to meet the following DRMS criteria: <br />• The land shall be revegetated in such a way as to establish a diverse, effective, and long- <br />lasting vegetative cover <br />• The vegetation is capable of self-regeneration without continued dependence on <br />irrigation, soil amendments or fertilizer <br />• The extent of cover is at least equal to the natural vegetation of the surrounding area <br />Reclamation of the Topaz Mine site will not be complete until vegetation is re-established to meet <br />the criteria of the BLM. These criteria include the following: <br />• Vegetative density has achieved 100 percent ofpre-mining conditions <br />• Composition of vegetation is entirely native species and is similar to surrounding areas <br />• Noxious weeds are not present. <br />S-IS-2007 Exhibi[ E Aec Plan E-~ <br />
